Peace calls again!/ A complete list of birds, fish, and animals dying off up to June 3, 2013

Prophecy Sign: I Thessalonians 5:3,4: “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.”

Below you will find a complete listing of reports concerning birds, fish, and animals dying off. If you have seen this list before just scroll down to the end and look at the news starting from May 27, 2013. This is all news I haven’t listed yet but is now in my book.

Prophecy Sign: “There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land. There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. Because of this the land mourns, and all who live in it waste away; the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the fish of the sea are dying. [Hosea 4:1-3]

The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground. [Ezekiel 38:20]

“I will sweep away both men and animals; I will sweep away the birds of the air and the fish of the sea. The wicked will have only heaps of rubble when I cut off man from the face of the earth,” declares the LORD. [Zephaniah 1:3]

I can recall two reports that stood out in my mind before I stated a daily log of all the birds, fish, and animal deaths. The first report was released on January 23, 2002, filed by News.telegraph.co.uk which stated that, “The number of animals slaughtered in the foot and mouth outbreak could be as high as 10 million-more than twice as high as official Government figures.” The second report was from Reuters which Reuters reported, “Hong Kong will destroy another 192,000 chickens as the still-unidentified avian virus spread to another five farms, government officials said” (Feb. 19, 2002). Knowing what I know now I wish I had started a daily log back in 2002, so you could see first hand the increase in reports on this subject over the years. My log on the reports of fish, birds, and animals begins at the March, 2009 date.

March 29, 2010 “Mass death among baby right whales has experts scrambling to figure out the puzzle behind the largest great whale die-off on record. Observers have found 308 dead whales in the waters around Peninsula Valdes along Argentina’s Patagonian Coast since 2005. Almost 90 percent of those deaths represent whale calves less than 3 months old, and the calf deaths make up almost a third of all right whale calf sightings in the last five years”(http://www.livescience.com/8180-mysterious-whale-die-largest-record.html).

May 28, 2010 “A mystery disease has killed more than 10,000 saiga antelope in Kazakhstan. Conservationists are warning that the mass deaths could spell disaster for the saiga, which is already an endangered species. The figure could account for up to a quarter of the global population of the species” (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10179345).

December 15, 2010 –13News Club reports that “Thousands of dead fish wash ashore on Florida beach”. “Dead fish at the Marina at Cocoa Villiage are washing ashore in numbers too large to count.”One of the local fisherman said that it’s the catfish. And the water’s just too cold for them. And they’re dying,” said Cocoa resident Lisa Michalski” (http://www.cfnews13.com/article/news/2010/december/183768/Dead-fish-turn-up-in-Cocoa) .

December 17, 2010 – “Dead fish wash ashore at Lake Beach in Indiana. This time the death of the fish are blamed on winter storms “According to our reporting partners at the Elkhart Truth, frozen gobies, trout, crayfish, and mudpuppies have been washing up on the beach along Washington Park. Indiana DNR biologists think the storm and the massive waves washed the fish onto the beach. Most fish move to deeper water in the winter where the water is warmer, however the fish now on the shore were not able to do that before the storm hit”.

December 28, 2010 – the following news was translated from Italian to English via Babel Fish. This report came from news from Scarlino Grosseto in the Italian region Tuscany on December 28, 2010. “A massacre of fish, clams and granchi: the scene is this that has introduced the beach of Scarlino Monday morning. The rests of the animals, some anchor death, were extended in two rows long parallels nearly two kilometers, in a feature of the coast to two steps from the industrial area of the municipality, where they are present industries chemistries and the inceneritore. A fact that it has made to scream the enviromentalists to the “ecological disaster”. The surveys and the analyses from the authorities are begun immediately. Arpat and provincial police have carried out withdrawals of money of vongole water champions and have harvest, crustaceans and muggini, some dead men other death ones, in order to make to analyze them to the zooprofilattico Institute of Pisa and to assess of the causes of the moria” (http://corrierefiorentino.corriere.it/firenze/notizie/cronaca/2010/28-dicembre-2010strage-del-mare-natale-181158495607.shtml).

December 28, 2010 – “70 Nearly 70 bats have been found dead in Tucson and Arizona Game and Fish officials are searching for answers. One possibility is unseasonably warm temperatures in the city. Game and Fish officials say the bats are Mexican free-tailed and should have migrated to Mexico two months ago. Investigators could find no evidence of foul play in the death of the bats (azcentral.com Dec. 28, 2010).

December 29, 2010 – “The San Antonio River Authority spent Wednesday afternoon trying to figure out what killed several fish in the Museum Reach of the River Walk. Maintenance crews working for the San Antonio River Authority used nets to collect the bloated carcasses from a barge. Within minutes of contacting the River Authority, scientists were dispatched to investigate the kill and took water samples. “Currently the water quality is fine,” said Steven Schauer, a spokesman for S.A.R.A. “The dissolved oxygen levels are OK.” According to Schauer, the tests were inconclusive for contaminates. Schauer suspected the fish kill may be related to recent rains following a long dry spell” (http://www.ksat.com/news/26316464/detail.html).

December 31, 2010 – “More than 150 tonnes of red tilapias have died en masse in the past week in Cao Lanh District in the southern province of Dong Thap, resulting in losses of VND35 billion (S$2.2 million) for aquaculture farmers. “Tests on the fish and water samples reveal the deaths were caused by frequent ebb tides and the high densities of fish kept caged in pens,” said Vu Thi Nhung, head of the provincial Department of Natural Resources and Environment’s Environmental Protection Division” (http://www.asiaone.com/Business/News/Story/A1Story20101231-255737.html).

December 31, 2010 – “The thousands of birds that fell from the sky just before midnight New Year’s Eve in Arkansas likely died from massive trauma, according to a preliminary report released Monday. As of Saturday, between 4,000 and 5,000 birds had been found dead. Keith Stephens, a spokesman for the commission, said the birds showed evidence of trauma in the breast tissue, with blood clots in the body cavity and a lot of internal bleeding. All major organs were normal. In a seemingly separate incident, some 500 red-winged blackbirds, starlings and grackles were found dead in southern Louisiana in Labarre. The birds showed no evident trauma, according to Jim LaCour, a veterinarian with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. Samples have been sent to Wisconsin and Georgia for testing, he said” (http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/01/03/arkansas.falling.birds/index.html?hpt=T2).

December 31, 2010 – Headlines form the Greater Annapolis Patch on December 31, 2010 read as follows: “Unusual fish kill found in Annapolis, Maryland” “Some Bay Ridge residents were taking a peaceful walk along the community beach when they stumbled upon a disturbing site — a large fish kill. According to Chris Luckett of the MDE, additional fish kills were reported along the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, including in Bay Ridge and along the beach at Sandy Point State Park in Annapolis. The good news is that the fish apparently died of natural causes from “cold stress” and not from disease or pollution, as some people feared.”There are tens of thousands, perhaps more,” said Luckett

January 2, 2011 – “Environment Agency Wales can confirm that what could be hundreds of dead fish, mostly bream, carp and roach, have been found in the marina on the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal at Goytre Wharf near Abergavenny earlier today. A 30cm drop in the water level at the marina by work upstream could be a contributory factor, but more than likely the cold weather, ice and lack of oxygen are to blame. Initial investigations reveal there is no pollution detectable but no conclusion has been drawn” (http://www.bymnews.com/news/newsDetails.php?id=79520).

January 2, 2011 – “Recent discovery of several dead migratory birds in Japan has raised concerns about H5NI avian influenza, avian experts said. The reports said 23 birds were found dead following a search in Tottori in the north. The birds were being tested” (UPI.com Jan.3, 2011).

January 2, 2011 – “Environmental service workers finished picking up the carcasses on Sunday of about 2,000 red-winged blackbirds that fell dead from the sky in a central Arkansas town”(HUFFPOST GREEN Jan 2, 2011). “Robertson said the workers wore the suits as a matter of routine and not out of fear that the birds might be contaminated. He said speculation on the cause is not focusing on disease or poisoning” (Ibid.). (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/02/dead-birds-fall-from-sky-akansas_n_803358.html)

January 3, 2011 “The 20-mile stretch along the Arkansas River found an estimated 100,000 drum fish washed ashore and floating. Investigators from local and state agencies took samples from the affected area. Stephens says fish kills occur every year, but the magnitude of this one is unusual, and disease could be the cause” (http://www.todaysthv.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=136401&catid=2).

January 3, 2011-“Approximately around the turn of the year witnesses found altogether seven robbery birds at the connecting road between the local situations of Gladbach and polling, which had been obviously poisoned. The police refunded charges and guaranteed the Kadaver, so that they can be examined regarding their exact cause of death. At the Sylvesternachmittag, against 16.30 o’clock, and in the early evening hours of the New Year’s Day had in each case become attentive a married couple from the Gemeindegebiet at the circle road 53 on several dead Bussarde. The police officers called in addition probably found further birds poisoned with seals”

January 3, 2011 – “3,000 blackbirds seemed to fall from the sky there- starting last Friday. Autopsies have since ruled out poisoning. One top biologist from Cornell University said the birds were “….probably asleep in a single tree when a washing machine-type thunderstorm sucked them up into the air, disoriented them, and even fatally soaked and chilled them.” Wildlife biologist Kent Ozment said while he couldn’t say for sure, he guessed the birds simply succumbed to the elements, “Probably it was just some sort of winter stress”(http://www.wpsdlocal6.com/news/local/Woman-reports-dozens-of-dead-birds-in-her-yard-112830524.html).

January 3, 2011 – “The Maryland Department of the Environment said that tens of thousands of small fish have died in the Chesapeake Bay due to the stress of the cold water. She said the fish usually swim to warmer waters before the severe cold weather that the area experienced in December.

January 3, 2011 – “Since last Thursday, 100 tons of sardines, croaker, and catfish have died near Paraná, Brazil. At the moment it isn’t known exactly what caused such a catastrophe, but it has been speculated there is some environmental imbalance. Since it isn’t yet known what caused the die-off near Brazil, there is also a possibility it was caused by some event within the ocean itself. In 2002 a sudden loss of many fish near Kenya was due to a massive bloom of algae that contained a toxin” (http://www.care2.com/greenliving/100-tons-of-fish-die-near-brazil.html.)

January 3, 2011 – “Thousands of dead octopuses have washed up on a beach in northern Portugal, in what is being called an environmental disaster.

The animal was picked up Monday for a necropsy, said, Gabriella Ferraro, spokeswoman for the commission, “so we don’t know the cause of death yet, but the preliminary indications are that it was cold-stressed. According to the commission’s website, four dead manatees were reported along the Treasure Coast from Dec. 1 to Dec. 24, the most recent data entry date — all in Indian River County, and none due to cold stress” (http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2011-01-04/news/fl-treasure-coast-manatees-20110104_1_dead-manatees-cold-stress-manatee-carcasses).

January 4, 2011- “Thousands of dead fish were floating in Volusia County Tuesday. They were all in Spruce Creek in Port Orange. The fish kill is unusual because it is warm, according to people who live along the creek. The Fish and Wildlife Commission was aware of the kill. A representative said it started last week. The representative blamed last week’s cold temperatures and speculated the kill wasn’t growing, but that winds were causing fish to just pile up”(http://www.wftv.com/news/26367953/detail.html).

January 4, 2011 – “SCORES of fish have been found dead in a brook running through a Peterborough beauty spot. Environment Agency officials have been alerted but say it could be some days before the results of tests to find out the cause of the death are known. The haven is only just recovering from the death of scores of fish in July 2010 which were revealed to be the victims of a heatwave after being spotted floating on the surface by residents. An Environment Agency spokeswoman said that more would be known about the cause of death of the fishes once the tests have been completed and the ice had thawed” (Telegraph PeterboroughToday.co.uk Jan. 4, 2011).

January 4, 2011- “Hundreds of dead fish that washed up on shore in the north end of the St. Clair River is a natural occurrence and not the result of a chemical spill, a government official says. “We think it’s a natural occurrence,” Kowalski said. “They died off as a result of temperature shock because we had that really warm weekend … and then it quickly cooled off again.”Kowalski said such die-offs are not unusual but it typically happens in the spring” (http://www.torontosun.com/news/canada/2011/01/04/16757321.html).

January 4, 2011- “Hundreds of dead and dying birds littered a quarter-mile stretch of highway in Pointe Coupee Parish. State biologists are trying to determine what led to the deaths of the estimated 500 red-winged blackbirds and starlings on La. 1 just down the road from Pointe Coupee Central High School. The discovery of the dead birds — some of which were lying face down, clumped in groups, while others were face up with their wings outstretched and rigid legs pointing upward — comes just three days after more than 3,000 blackbirds rained down from the sky in Beebe, Ark. Necropsies performed Monday on the birds in Arkansas showed the birds suffered internal injuries that formed blood clots leading to their deaths”

January 5, 2011 – “A large number of dead birds spotted on the Hwy 155 bridge near Ore City is most likely a natural occurrence in the area and not related to the mysterious bird deaths in Arkansas and Louisiana. The Corps of Engineers office at Lake O’ the Pines says they are not exactly sure why this happens, but it appears likely the birds are walking or roosting or flying on and around the bridge and many of them probably get hit and killed by motor vehicles” (http://www.ktre.com/story/13787277/birds-fall-from-e-texas-sky?redirected=true).

January 5, 2011 – “The estimated two million dead fish found floating in the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland recently are not another sign of the apocalypse, but were instead probably killed by the cold weather, officials told The Baltimore Sun. Water quality was also ruled out as a possible culprit for the mass die-off of mostly spot and some croaker fish, the Sun reports. Spot fish are notorious for being vulnerable to the cold, and large winter kills of spot have been documented in Maryland at least twice before, a Maryland Department of the Environment spokeswoman told the Sun, with about 15 million dying in early 1976 and a smaller number in 1980. The mass Chesapeake fish die-off joins a growing list of reports from around the globe of mysterious fish and bird deaths”

January 5, 2011 – “Shortly before midnight on Tuesday, residents found 50 to 100 jackdaws on a street in Falköping southeast of Skövde.

Paraná is in the southern part of the country and has some coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. The 100 ton count came from a survey conducted by the Federation of Fishermen’s Colony of Paraná, Paranaguá. It has been reported by this fishing association that 2,800 fisherman depend on fish caught in the area for their daily incomes. At the moment it isn’t known exactly what caused such a catastrophe, but it has been speculated there is some environmental imbalance, or there has been a large chemical spill from a boat offshore” (Care2 News Jan. 5, 2011).

January 6, 2011 – “The death of two millionfish that washed up on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland appears to have been caused by a sudden drop in temperature, the state’s Environment Department told Reuters on Thursday.The mass kill is the latest in a string of bird and fish deaths around the world” (REUTERS News Jan 6, 2011).

January 5, 2011 – “Birds fell from the sky to their deaths in the Ark., La. and Sweden, dead fish are floating around in Md. and Brazil, and most recently, over 40,000 dead devil crabs have washed up along the Kent coast in the U.K. The latest in the string of animal mass mortality incidents across the globe has caused many to wonder if an animal apocalypse is on the brink. The media started paying to attention to mass mortalities after a flock of blackbirds fell from the sky in Ark., crashing into homes, cars and each other before dying. Doug Inkley, senior scientist at the National Wildlife Federation, told CBS News that blackbirds don’t have very good night vision and that they were simply frightened. As for the fish and the crabs, the cause of the fish die-off in Brazil is yet to be determined, but officials in Md. told the Baltimore Sun the sensitive spot fish were most likely killed by cold water. According to the Daily Mail, environmental experts believe lower than average temperatures are to blame for the crab deaths” (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503543_162-20027655-503543.html).

January 7, 2011 – “After cavalcades of dead birds and fish from Arkansas and Texas to Sweden and New Zealand, tests are being carried out on the bodies of turtle doves in Italy after hundreds rained down near Ravenna. Yesterday alone 300 corpses were recovered with all of them having a blue tinge to their beaks, which scientists say indicates poisoning or hypoxia which is lack of oxygen that can confuse animals. It is not just birds that have been affected, with millions of dead fish also washing up on river banks and coastlines. The turtle dove case is the largest incident to have hit Europe so far – in Sweden 50 jackdaws were found dead. Italian officials said they expected results from the tests on Monday” (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/8246678/More-than-1000-turtle-doves-fall-from-the-sky-in-Italy-in-latest-mass-bird-death-case.html).

January 13, 2011 – “How much longer can scientists keep saying this is normal? Up to 300 dead birds have been found on the side of an Alabama highway in the latest mass animal death to be reported. It appears that the birds died of blunt force trauma – possibly from being hit by a truck, wildlife biologist Bill Gates told local news station WAFF. The Alabama deaths are just the latest in a series of mass animal deaths around the world. Blame technology, says famed Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson. With the Internet, cell phones and worldwide communications, people are noticing events, connecting the dots more. The irony is that mass die-offs – usually of animals with large populations – are getting the attention while a larger but slower mass extinction of thousands of species because of human activity is ignored, Wilson said” (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1346957/Now-300-dead-birds-fall-sky-Alabama-longer-scientists-saying-normal.html?ito=feeds-newsxml).

According to the report, three major factors have been present in the handful of mass extinctions that have occurred in the past: an increase of both hypoxia (low oxygen) and anoxia (lack of oxygen that creates “dead zones”) in the oceans, warming and acidification. The panel warns that the combination of these factors will inevitably cause a mass marine extinction if swift action isn’t taken to improve conditions” (June 21, 2011).

For now, they don’t have a clue about the virus’s origins or why it’s suddenly causing an outbreak; in order to speed up the process, they want to share the virus and protocols for detecting it with anyone interested in studying the disease or developing diagnostic tools and vaccines.” “We are taking this very, very seriously,” adds Thomas Mettenleiter, head of the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute (FLI), the German federal animal health lab located on the island of Riems. The virus appears to be transmitted by midges (Culicoides spp.), and infections likely occurred in summer and autumn of last year, but fetuses that were exposed to the virus in the womb are only now being born. The first cases of lambs with congenital malformations such as hydrancephaly — where parts of the brain are replaced by sacs filled with fluid — and scoliosis (a curved spine) appeared before Christmas. “Now, in some herds 20 percent to 50 percent of lambs show such malformations,” Mettenleiter says. “And most of these animals are born dead.” Scientists are bracing for many more cases to appear, especially in cattle, because bovine fetuses”. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/01/new-animal-virus/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wired%2Findex+%28Wired%3A+Index+3+%28Top+Stories+2%29%29&utm_content=Google+Reader

The dolphin carcasses are also turning into a real holiday spoiler for vacationers drawn to the region’s scenic beaches and pristine vistas. Russian tourist Aida Kobzh was shocked to discover a group of dead dolphins last week at her local beach in Sochi.” http://www.rferl.org/content/black-sea-ecologists-alarmed-by-dolphin-deaths/24591773.html

More than 800 were discovered on a 300m stretch of sand on Ishigaki island. The starfish population “outbreak” was first identified in 2009, when masses of juveniles were seen feeding on the island’s outer coral reef. The coral-eating starfish then took three years to move onto the beach where they perished. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/18294729

June 6, 2012 “Missouri conservationists are trying to solve a mystery in an area lake. What started as a couple dozen dead carp turned into more than 10,000 in Blue Springs Lake. Conservationists took water samples and couldn’t figure out exactly what caused the deaths. Their samples have now gone onto a national lab for further analysis. Between 500 and 1,000 carp have been killed everyday. Jake Allman, a biologist with the Missouri Conservation, started noticing carp with lesions under their scales the last few weeks.” http://www.kshb.com/dpp/news/region_missouri/blue_springs/10000-carp-found-dead-in-blue-springs-lake

At one lake in Delaware, up to 6,000 dead gizzard shad and 600 perch were found floating this week. “Aggravating this summertime problem, increased temperatures lead to warmer water, which holds less dissolved oxygen,” state natural resources spokesman John Clark told NBCPhiladelphia.com. In South Carolina, some 500 fish died at Lake Hartwell” (msnbc.comUSNews July 8, 2012). “Some 10,000 bluegills were thought to have died, and city workers were tasked with the cleanup even though the lake is on private property” (ibid.).

The H3N8 strain was discovered after the death of 162 New England harbor seals last year. Post-mortem examinations of five of the animals showed they were killed by a flu infection. The strain is closely related to one that has been circulating in North American birds since 2002. But unlike the bird strain, it has adapted to living in mammals. It has also evolved mutations known to ease transmission and cause more severe symptoms” (SkyNews ).
